    Amazing seafood pasta!
    Marsha P.

    Service was excellent and English friendly as they have an Italian menu but change it to English for you. Delicious pizza and seafood pasta. Also loved the bruschetta was yummy. The house fed is really good! Get a bottle!

    Swordfish with baby tomatoes & Capers! Very flavorful!

    First time visit. Excellent, warm and attentive Service from our waiter "Kahn". Tasty, hot fresh appetizers with super entrees. Try the "Lobster & Pasta", Swordfish, or Ravioli and Sausage. Cool "Cave" dining area below.

    The mushroom and sausage pizza was so good! Would recommend coming here with a couple of friends and sharing a couple of pizzas. The pizza does get tiring if you only get one type so try at least two different types. The ravioli is tasty as well but the portion was a little small. Service was alright, but it makes sense because sometimes it gets quite packed in this restaurant.

    Fresh oysters

    My family's favorite restaurant in Rome. We ate dinner here last year because it was near my school (and I came here a few times with some of my friends) and my parents absolutely loved the food. We are back in Rome again this year, and this is one of our first stops. The pastas are amazing (our favorites are the orichette with broccoli and sausage, spaghetti with clams, and the linguine with lobster. We also had some oysters which were very fresh, a mixed appetizer plate with amazing octopus. Only con is that the shrimp and avocado salad only had one slice of avocado, and too much dressing. The fried fish platter was very good as well. The prices are very very reasonable (a little on the cheap side too!) the service is great, and it is a very comfortable restaurant (with a very cute "grotto" seating inside). This is definitely a must-visit place in our future trips to Rome.

    Seafood pasta 12euros. Lemon sauce, mussels, zucchini flowers!

    Great outdoor dining. Order everything. Seafood pasta with lemon sauce, grilled lobster, lamb dish.

    SUCH GOOD FOOD. All the food tasted fresh and you could tell the quality ingredients that go into the food. We came when the restaurant just opened so there was no wait. I forgot the name of the pasta I got but it's the ear shaped pasta with broccoli and sausage. I would highly recommend. The mushroom and sausage pizza was super tasty too. Pizza is kinda small and thin but totally worth it. Really nice service too!!

    Most of it eaten here, this is the porcini mushrooms. I love fresh porcini!!!

    My first day in Rome I came here. Wood Oven Pizza was amazing. The selection of wine was great including good Roman wine.

    The mussels are amazing as well as spaghetti allo scoglio. It was kind of pricey so I only ate here a few times.

    Review # 1200 After…read moresome shopping on the Via cola Di Riemzo, we were ready for lunch. This spot was a Yelp find. We arrived just before they opened at 12:30. We asked for a table outside and the kind lady asked us if we had a reservation (oh oh). We didn't. No problem as we took our pick of one of the tables. Two levels inside with a small Bar in the back. Before we knew it, outside seating was full and inside also filled up-a good sign. We ordered a liter (ended up being too much but when in Rome...) of their house Red and enjoyed it. For starters, we ordered the Fried Artichokes (thick breading and will order the Roman style with garlic/vinegar next time), fried Zucchini and Suppli-Cacio Pepe. The Suppli was delicious and was enjoyed the most. For main, it was Pasta Carbonara (Guanciale )-Proper carbonara and the streak of not having a bad version of this dish in Rome continues. The sliced Beef with mushrooms was also delicious -super tender and thin pieces of beef (medium rare as requested). We asked if the Tiramisu was house-made. Our server answered, "yes, and I am the one who makes it." How could we not order after that?! One of the best Tiramisus we've had. Perfect balance of coffee dipped lady fingers with cream-delicious! Our Server was kind, attentive and full of hustle -she was covering a lot of ground. Don't miss this Gem if you are in the Prati district.

    On our last night in Rome, we wanted to dine at an intimate restaurant located close to our…read moreapartment in Prati. Already depressed knowing we were returning to the cold and fearful Minneapolis, we spent the day packing and wandering Prati. After drowning our sorrows at a few cocktail emporiums in the early evening, we walked into Su e Giu without a reservation close to 9:30. The two guys working the front showed us to a table, and we proceeded to have a perfect last night meal. Our appetizers and pastas were great, service was friendly, and I spent time reflecting on how wonderful Rome is, rather than thinking about our return to the fractured States. Su e Giu Cucina Romana is the perfect Roman restaurant to feel La Dolce Vita. It is a sweet life indeed.

I had the special which was the truffle pasta and my husband had the Cacio e Pepe. Both were phenomenal! The portion size is perfect and the price was very very reasonable.

This shop is more of a countertop order from their limited menu but the menu is executed so well you'll be tempted to order multiple bowls. There are a few stools and table out front to enjoy your food hot. Both times I've been on separate visits within two years, has only shown me how consistent their food and quality is. You can pair your dishes with an aperol spritz or mini bottle of wine for less than five euros. The pasta was about nine to eleven euros and the portions were more than plenty. The chef and owner are super nice and very informative about their dishes. If you are a fan of spice you have to try their chef-recommended dish. They had one dish topped with pancetta and I just about wanted to lick my bowl clean. Everyone in the group was raving how delicious it was. Egg will forever be on my must-have when visiting Rome.

    Yes, it's worth the wait if you go there early. We stood in line at 12:30 on a weekday, as in,…read morelunchtime. We were 2nd in line and waited about 30 minutes. I would wait longer. I had possibly the most amazing chick food pasta a girl could imagine. Girls know what girl food is. The pasta in Italy is just better -obviously. But then put all sorts of girl flavors on it like Lemon and Orange, just lightly enough, zest with a small hint of cheese-..... omgosh. Yes, yes, and yes. Need my hubs to replicate at home. He is going to be busy trying to perfect this. Tagliatelle with orange and lemon parmesan. This was it. It was the best. Everything else we ordered was amazing as well. Wait outside. They don't have a sign telling you to wait, no server telling you to wait. You wait out there, wondering if you're in the right place, but then people stand behind you and you're like - oh! I'm here. This is the place. There are possibly 4 tables inside. It's small. I read about them being rude- we did not have that problem. In fact, they made a mistake and we kindly let them know we ordered something else- they corrected it and were nice about it.

We were super lucky that we didn't have to wait too long to get a table and we were sat instantly. They can only seat about 18 total. Both pastas were just absolutely amazing. The wine recommendation to match was equally great. Very reasonable priced. Really nice staff. Very much a self sufficient spot. Loved it and would recommend. The tiramisu had me in love all over again
